The Minneapolis Madrigal Sing-ers

sponsored by the cultural council.
Consisting of Twin City musi-cians
and music teachers, the group
is directed by Frederick Hillary,
minister of music at Central Lu-theran
church in Minneapolis.
According to Ronn Veenker, cul-tural
council chairman, this event
is one that no one can afford to

Ronn added that the singers ap-peared
on campus last year in a
similar concert and were very well
received by the student body.
"Communication is the most
acute problem in the world today,"
said Dr. Eugene Nida, keynote
speaker at Missions Week.
Linguist from the American
Bible society, Dr. Nida considers
himself a "trouble shooter for
problems of translation." He has
traveled in over 60 countries and
written seven books on the prob-lems
of communication.
Diagraming communication as
consisting of the source, the mes-sage,
and the receptor, Dr. Nida
emphasized that if we are to under-stand
any message we must under-stand
the source, message, and
receptor in the cultural context.
"The message is not different
in relation to the culture of which
it is a part," Dr. Nida explained.
That is, the ends do not differ,
but the equivalent forms in which
the message is expressed differ.
This is because "other societies
are integrated and organized on
very different concepts. Language
is a reflection of the culture."
.Sometimes the Scriptures are
closer to other cultures than to
ours because "the eastern Medi-terranean
culture is the pivotal
point of cultural history," Dr. Nida
said.

president of Carleton college
Volume XXXV—No. 6 Bethel
"There is no such thing as ac-curate
translation in the absolute
sense of the word," Dr. Nida ex-plained,
because no word has an
exact parallel in another language.
"Absolute communication is
never possible but adequate com-munication
is always possible be-cause
of basic phychological char-acteristics
of man."
"Translation is not trying to
match words but to find the
closest natural equivalent within
the context of the culture," Dr.

The International Geophysical
Year is a time of increased scien-tific
activity. During this time the
nations of the world work together
in a common effort to gain scien-tific
knowledge.
Who said "vacation?"
Ellen Polk, freshman, loads the old
textbooks into her suitcase as she

Nida said.
"It is absolutely obligatory that
we communicate the message in
indigenous forms . . . in an indigen-ous
setting . . . through indigen-ous
channels of communication .. .
in terms of indigenous patterns of
life."
"Identification is not imitation,"
but effective participation in the
lives of the people, Dr. Nida said
regarding the method by which
missionaries can achieve effective
communication.
This past year Dr. Gould has
been the director of the U.S. Ant-arctic
program for the IGY pro-ject.
He is the author of the book,
Cold Record of Antarctic Sledge
Journey.
In 1921 he graduated from the
University of Michigan with a
B.S. degree and in the same year
became an instructor in geology
there. From 1926 to 1930 he was
an assistant professor.

Bethel was represented at the
regional National Student Associa-tion
(N.S.A.) meeting at Carleton
college in Northfield, Minn., Nov.
14 and 15 by Dick Benert, Lois
Bradshaw, Marge Brother, and
Dwight Jessup.
N.S.A. has a two-fold purpose.
Through the regional conference
Bethel students have a voice in the
U.S.N.S.A., the voice of over a mil-lion
college students in world af-fairs.
In turn U.S.N.S.A. informs
us of actions they take.
Dr. Lawrence M. Gould, presi-dent
of Carleton, gave the keynote
address. In speaking of the educa-tional
crisis he said, "The need is
not for more but for better scien-tists
because we will never have as
many as the Russians."
Interviews Set
On Federal Jobs
If you are interested in Civil
Service employment, yours is the
opportunity to speak with W. H.
Ekholm, acting chief of personnel
in the Ninth Civil Service region.
He will be available for interviews
on Dec. 9, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
As Civil Service employment
covers many varied fields Mr. Ek-holm
would be interested in any
person regardless of his major
course of training.
For appointment, contact Clif-ford
Anderson, dean of students.
During these years he was geo-logist
and second in command with
Greenland Putnam Baffin Island
and First Byrd Arctic expeditions.
After serving as associate pro-fessor
of geology at Michigan in
1930 and 1931 and earning a doctor
of science degree, he became a
professor of geology at Carleton
college in Northfield, Minn. Today
he holds this position as well as
the presidency of the college which
he assumed in 1945.
In 1936 and 1937 he was a dele-gate
to the International Unions
and Congress, Scotland and U.S.
S.R.
Honorary doctor degrees have
been conferred on him by several
colleges and universities.
Besides being a member of the
honorary societies Pi Kappa Alpha,
Sigma Xi, and Phi Beta Kappa,
he is either a board member,
trustee, or honorary members of
more than two dozen different
clubs, foundations, and societies.

Dwight Jessup went to a work-shop
for campus leadership de-velopment.
The main topics of dis-cussion
in this group were how to

Students Voice Opinions
Through National N.S.A.
Unethical Behavior
Threat To Freedom
Ethical considerations, while perhaps forming the dominant
aspects of contemporary religious practice, appear to have been
neglected in not a few situations here at Bethel recently.
Certain individuals seem to be reacting against the college
experience, not in an intellectual way, but in a physical way.
While this has a value of its own, to be sure—as in the easing
of tensions and frustrations, it is only relative.
And when the destruction wrought is greater than the personal
benefit derived from such reaction, then the wantoness of some
becomes a great threat to the position of all.
Students ought not to mistakenly assume that freedom is an
adequate law of conduct.
Freedom must be coupled with moral responsibility or it is
worthless.
Collective effort, mutual understanding, corporate enterprise,
in general the functions of a democratic society are impossible
when individuals are all governed only by a concept of complete
liberty.
Another violation of the principle of free responsible society
seems about to jeopardize the traditional liberty students have
been granted in the library.
It would appear that some have shown complete disregard
for the normal and necessary procedure of checking out books
which are to be taken from the library. This is especially true of
certain books on open reserve : few remain in the library now.
The open reserve concept is a good one. Students and books
can intermingle more freely under such a system.
But standard procedure must be adhered to or the library
will of necessity be forced into a stricter, more authoritarian posi-tion.
This would be unfortunate.
Bethel students have enjoyed greater freedom and have suf-fered
under fewer rules than probably any similar liberal arts
college in the area.
This freedom has been won only through responsible student
effort extended over many years. By demonstrating to the admini-stration
that students could make the necessary moral judgments
involved, a gradual extension of privileges was granted.
But now the unreasoned unethical behavior of a few, childish
actions in the first place, poses as a threat to traditional freedom:
a heritage from previous classes which is a far greater good than
any irresponsible demonstration of frustration that the college
has recently been given.

The court clerk came in followed by the black-robed,
White-haired federal Judge Nordbye who
stepped up behind the bench and sat down. The
clerk then announced "court is in session" and
rapped the gavel on his desk to complete his piece.
The case of the United States v. McDuffie" was
being tried. (When we came in the afternoon session
was beginning although the trial itself had been
under way for at least one other day.)
The Negro defendant McDuffle was about thirty
years of age and was accused of selling marijuana.
Mr. Valentine, a witness for the prosecution,
took the stand after oath. He was a federal agent
who had been assigned to watch the activities of
the defendant. In the course of the prosecutor's
examination of the witness we learned about a
"Special Employee" Elliott who had been hired to
purchase some "stuff" from McDuffie.
We, in the spectators seats, faced the bench
and also the witness on the other side of the room.
Between these two positions sat the prosecuting
attorney at one table and the defense and defen-dant
at another. To our right across from these
center tables sat the jury of nine men and three
women. The recorder sat at the short-hand machine.
On Jan. 22, 1958, Valentine, Elliott, and another
agent had gone out to Olson highway and Highway
10 to a telephone booth there, and Elliott had placed
a call to McDuffie. It was about 6 p.m. The attorney
then asked:
"Where did you go then?"
"We went to Seventh and Lyndale; to a res-taurant
there; a barbecue."
"Do you remember the name of the restaur-ant?"
"Not right now."
"What did you do then?"
"We parked across the street in Dayton's park-ing
lot, to observe."
Elliott had then gotten out of the car and
had walked to the intersection, where the defendant
arrived walking with a police dog. However, no ex-change
other than words took place, and McDuffie
was gone.
The two detectives and Elliott then went into
the restaurant. They slid a table and some chairs
over by the men's room which was to the rear left
of the barbecue and the detectives then went inside
the men's room while Elliott remained in the estab-lishment
proper. The only lighting came from the
outside light and the light from the juke-box. (The
place, later identified as the Old Southern Barbecue,
at the time was owned by Elliott's father and was be-ing
remodeled. Elliott worked there as a cook.)
Valentine's testimony continued ...
"We bored two quarter-inch holes through the
door to observe. At eight o'clock McDuffie knocked
on the barbecue door and Special-Employee let
him in."
Intrigue is ever with us.
"Did you observe any transaction between .
them?"
"I observed the defendant hand over a small
piece of paper."
After McDuffie had gone (with dog once more)
Elliott went back to the federal agents and gave
them the piece of paper. It was a pink napkin
containing marijuana.
The prosecution soon concluded his interroga-tion,
and the counsel for the defense then questioned
the witness.
After Valentine, Elliott was questioned. Elliott
was Negro—about 26 years old. It was not difficult
to lead Elliott into awkward straits the defense
counsel found and this was done initially by question-ing
his moral character. A sustained objection how-ever
stopped this. Then in a flustered moment the
question was asked—"And that was when he handed
you the yellow napkin?"
"Yes." (It had already been ascertained that
the napkin was pink.)
The court soon adjourned. Court can be fascin-ating.
Minneapolis Federal court is located at Third
and Marquette. On the fourth floor are the court
rooms. Afternoon sessions are from two to five.

'Cheerful Men
Should Perform
Dear Editor,
Once below a time there was a
little boy who took piano lessons.
Because he was like most little
boys he was creativehe learned
to play the piano with his feet.
This added some "happiness" to
his playing.
His teacher admitted it was
novel, but certainly not orthodox.
"To please the public, you must
play porperly," was his firm ad-monition.
He learned to play properly.
However, he was much happier
when he secretly added his "foot-notes."
The big day of his recital ar-rived.
His wealthy parents hired
an orchestra to accompany him.
Everything proceeded "properly,"
and his teacher smiled approvingly
from the front row. The rest of
the audience dozed off. The little
boy thought to himself, "They're
not enjoying this anymore than I
am." A "horrible" idea (surely
from the devil) came into his
mind. "Do I dare? It would be
improper—my teacher wouldn't ap-prove—
but the audience . . . Oh,
scratch my Bach, I'LL DO IT!"
A wild gleam shown in his eyes.
Off came his shoes. Off came his
sacks. He became a "happy boy"
again.
As the music poured forth, the
audience stirred, awoke, became
enthused, and went wild with ap-plause;
the orchestra outdid them-selves,
and the final curtain trem-bled
with cries of "bravo! encore!"
When the curtain went up, the
boy was gone, and a certain front
row seat was empty.
You know what happened. From
then on he played properly. But
he was mediocre. Worse, he was
unhappy. So are we, the audience.
It doesn't seem right for talent
to be wasted! There are so many
boys who could be "happy boys."

Egan Gets Word
Mr. Egan:
No, we are not agreed that
something is wrong when students,
are charged large fines for overdue
books.
If you use the library you must
comply with its regulations. The
library staff presupposes that you
will return material you borrow
within the allotted time. The li-brary
is mother to no man.
After college, we will be sub-jetted
to circumstances in which
judgment will be necessary: Selec-tive
Service, voting registration,
marriage licenses, interrm'ent plots.
If we meet these adequately, we
will lead the happy and good life.
The problem is not library pro-cedures,
but self-discipline.

Dear Mr. Egan,
Yes, I can imagine being charg-ed
several dollars for keeping a
book out of the library. This is
not unlike the instance in which
I kept a regular, run-of-the-mill,
commonplace, two week loan book
out for 68 weeks, for which I re-ceived
a fine of $8.17.
Wadsworth
The American deer hunter is
found in almost every state in the
union. The northeastern and Great
Lakes areas are probably the most
fruitful for whitetail hunting, al-though
a man can tramp through
the woods, fill his lungs with fresh
air, and feel like Daniel Boone any-place.
So we see that deer hunting is
expensive, unprofitable, silly, and
illogical, and that no sane man
would have anything to do with it.
There's more to say, but the
boys have just loaded my kitchen
sink into the trailer; we're on our
way to get some venison.
Every year from October to
December, hundreds of thousands
of American men leave the warmth
and safety of their homes and trek
up wooded hills and down frosted
dales in search of the wily white-tail
deer. These otherwise sane
men go out in small groups and
share whatever meat is shot. Thus
Mr. Average Hunter returns to his
nest, proudly shows his mate ten
dollars worth of moldy, bark-en-crusted
venison, and says in his
1-told-you-so tone of voice, "Ya
thought I couldn't do it, huh. Disda
wayta balance da budget." Our
friend's bride looks at him in
amazement and starts to say some-thing,
but his cave man attitude
dissuades her from mentioning the
three hundred dollars he has spent
for guns, ammunition, gasoline,
binoculars, and Johnny Walker—
all necessities for the trip.
There are three main methods
used in deer hunting. The first is
called still hunting because you
slowly and carefully walk around
in likely areas, the purpose being
to sneak up on a deer before he
knows you're there. The average
deer hunter walks so quietly he can
be heard on Times Square on New
Year's Eve. The second method
is called standing, because you sit
down near watering places, deer
paths, or salt licks to await a
victim. The third possible way is
also aptly named. Several hunters
run around the woods, purposely
making a commotion in the hope
(usually vain) of frightening some
senile member of the whitetail
family into running in front of the
strategically placed guns of their
companions. This is called driving.
Americanus Nimrod is known for
his tendency to travel "heavy." He
likes to take everything but the
kitchen sink. (He takes that too
if he has a trailer.) An average
hunting party carries such a wide
variety of paraphernalia that it
takes the better part of a day to
load and unload it. A partial list
would include guns and ammuni-tion,
targets, binoculars, boots,
cartridge belts, shooting mittens,
hand warmers, extra sights, hunt-ing
knives, matches, ear flaps, gas
cans, clotheslines, canteens, com-passes,
maps, sunglasses, and cold
pills.

Book Review .. .
Does College Change Values?
. . . Dr. P. E. Jacob Missing Reserve Books--
Bethel Campus Mystery Changing Values In College by
Dr. Philip E. Jacob is a penetrat-ing
analysis of the influence col-lege
exerts on student values.
It is not a very optimistic re-port,
particularly for those who
view the college experience as be-ing
significant in the area of
values. Nor does it give one much
assurance about the positive in-fluence
of curriculum, teachers, or
teaching methods in bringing
about any change in the current
situation.
The study is far from conclu-sive;
there are significant areas
which have received limited treat-ment.
Yet it is a valuable work
certainly worthy of the time of all
who are involved with college: stu-dent,
faculty member, administra-tor,
and alumnus.
The question of what happens
to the values of American students
when they go to college is the
basic concern of the book.
The over-all conclusion of this
study is that college does make a
difference but not a very funda-mental
one for most students.
Basic values remain largely con-stant
through college.
The main effect of higher edu-cation
upon student values is to
bring about general acceptance of
a body of standards and attitudes
of college-bred men and women in
the American community.
The changes which do occur
bring greater uniformity. College
graduates tend to be cultural "rub-ber
stamps" for the existing social
pattern rather than instigators of
new patterns of thought.
The study did not discern any
significant change in student values
which could be attributed either
directly to the character of the
curriculum or to the basic courses
in social sciences which students
take as part of their general edu-cation.
For the most part, the values

In a summary of these general
conclusions Jacob spells out some
particular characteristics which
seem to have a considerable mea-sure
of applicability to all insti-tutions.
Student values do change to
some extent he says; even a sub-stantial
change may occur. But
the impetus to change does not
come primarily from the formal
process of education.
"Potency to affect student values
is found in the distinctive climate
of a few institutions, the individual
and personal magnetism of a sen-sitive
teacher with strong value-commitments

personal experiences of stu-dents
imaginatively integrated
with their intellectual develop-ment."

"The Case of the Missing Library
Volumes" may sound fascinating
to the avid mystery fan, but to
the Bethel student body this case
presents a real problem. The open
reserve system which the library
employs has been given a broader
interpretation by a few students
than was originally intended. Re-sult:
missing reserve books!
No detectives were needed to
determine that many a book has
left the library, with no card left
at the check-out desk to desig-nate
its whereabouts. Rather re-gretfully,
students who desired to
fulfill extra reading requirements
discovered the crime around mid-semester
time, when the need was
most prevalent. To find that the
up. Try a wide belt of a dressy
fabric with a bow in front. This
could be the refreshing touch you
need.
The ideal date this year will be
driving a '59 Dodge. This is the
car that has the ladies in mind.
Its swiveling front seat seeks to
solve the straight skirt, low car
roof problem and makes for a more
graceful exit.
All women are interested in
growing old sans wrinkles. I
stumbled upon this fool proof
method and feel compelled to pass
it on to you. Here. it is. Don't
smile. Don't frown. (Uses too many
muscles.) Follow a nutritionally
perfect diet, and most of all keep
your face free from wind, soot,
and bacteria. (Could I suggest
living under a glass bell?)
It looks like our skating wea-ther
isn't far off! Time to get
your skates out and polish them.
If you don't have plenty of warm
clothes that's your cue to drop a
hint to your roommate. For the
roommate who has everything, may
I suggest a subscription to Gla-mour.
Don Decker, college junior, won
first place and $25 in Bethel's ora-tory
contest held Monday, Nov. 17,
by supporting the idea that nu-clear
weapons can prevent war.
He showed that the reason the
United States was involved in war
with Germany and Japan was be-cause
of military unpreparedness.
Present comparative strength of
the U.S. was shown by number of
nuclear weapons and planes avail-able
on short notice.
Probability of annihilation of the
extra few copies of the desired
book have been borrowed with no
promise of return presented dis-gust
as well as disappointment on
the part of the searching student.
Courses particularly affected by
the missing books are: General
Psychology, Problems of Philoso-phy,
and General Zoology.
Imposing a closely - scrutinized
check-out system in the Bethel
library seems rather unnecessary,
but the students have not proven
themselves. capable of the present
freedoms. Suggestions from the
Student Senate upon investigation
by the library representative,
Marilyn Thorpe, include:
moving open reserve shelf nearer
the check-out desk,
assigning a checker at the door,
and
designating a separate room for
the open reserve books.
Such steps need not be taken if

For Christmas
Bethel Women's association will
hold its annual Christmas meeting
on Thursday, Dec. 4, at 3 p.m. in
the dining hall.
A musical ensemble composed
of women from the college choir
and the women's chorus will pre-sent
a Christmas program.
First several secular carols will
be sung. Then the Christmas story
will be told by the group with the
aid of slides.
Sylvia Jackson will direct the
ensemble.
Refreshments will be served at
the meeting.

and outlooks of students do not
vary greatly whether they have
pursued a conventional liberal arts
program, an integrated general
education curriculum, or one of the
strictly professional-vocational op-tions.
Equally disturbing is evidence
that the quality of teaching has
relatively little effect upon the
value-outcomes of general educa-tion—
in the social sciences or in
the other fields—so far as the
great mass of students is concern-ed.
It has been observed, however,
that some teachers do exert a pro-found
influence on some students
even to the point of causing par-ticular
individuals to re-orient
their philosophy of life and adopt
new and usually more socially re-sponsible
vocational goals.
A further significant observa-tion
(particularly for Bethel) is
that faculty influence appears
more pronounced at institutions
where association between faculty
and students is normal and fre-quent,
and students find teachers
more receptive to unhurried and
relaxed conversations out of class.
The method of instruction seems
to have only a minor influence on
students' value judgments.
However students are often
deeply affected by participation in
experiences which vividly confront
them with value issues and pos-sibly
demand decisions on their
part whose consequences they can
witness. -
While patterns of student values
have great similarity on a mass
view, the intellectual, cultural, or
moral "climate" of some institu-tions
stands out from the crowd.
The response of students to edu-cation
within the atmosphere of
these institutions is strikingly dif-

Only One Point Edge:
Bethel Shaves Braves
Bethel began this year's basket-ball
season by squeezing past Sioux
Falls, 56-55, last Friday night on
the home court.
As the game got under way it
was evident it would be a close
contest, with the lead changing
hands many times. The end of the
first half found the Braves con-trolling
a four point lead and they
came back in the second half to
advance that lead to eleven points
before Dick Larson sparked the
Royal Five by scoring nine staright
points.
With one minute and 49 seconds
remaining in the game the score
was tied at 54-54. Bethel controlled
the ball and Larson hit, putting
the Royals ahead 56-54. Lindaman
fouled Roger Shogren as the
Braves were trying to stall and
Shogren made one of two free
throws making the score 56-55.
The game seemed to be on ice
here with only ten seconds left to
play and Bethel having possession
of the ball when a quick-footed
Brave stole the ball and went for
a basket, but the whistle had
blown, and Bethel had won 56-55.
Coach Healy said, "I feel that
we have some scoring potential
and we have learned some things
about our shabby defense which
will be corrected. We only hit 34
per cent of our shots which is bad,

Bethel's basketball team plays
their next three games with River

Beadle (S. D.), and Eau Claire
State (Wis.) respectively. The
first of these is an away game
while the other two are to be
played at home.
All three games are non-Badger-

Bethel won one (56-52) and lost
one (39-78) to River Falls last

accounted for by the fact that
numerous Bethel starting players

Twenty years old-190 pounds-5 feet 11 inches—junior transfer
student from University of Minnesota, are just a few vital statistics
of - Paul Evan, but then, just how many vital statistics can a guy have,
anyway. Paul has already claimed the B.G.C. scoring title, typifying
his athletic ability. Attesting to his inspiring personality and character
his teammates have voted him the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award
and have chosen him to lead next year's team as
captain.
In a recent C.S. conversation Paul stated that
he really liked the spirit of the guys, both teamwise
and spiritually. He also said, "It was great to be
a part of a team that evidenced no friction among
players—they never gave up and played hard all
the time; we improved with each game. Our best
ball game was the last—I'm certain that we would
continue to get better if we had more ball games.
Paul Evan
Ground work for this personable athlete was Scoring Title
laid at Coleman hig h school, Wisconsin. There he M V P
1959 Captain
earned varsity letters—four in both football and track and three in
basketball. As a senior, he earned all-conference in football and basket-ball,
the conference's MVP in football. Paul is credited with several 25
point games in basketball. As for track, he went to State for three
years, in the hurdles as a sophomore and in the discus as a junior and
senior. Strange as it may seem pole vaulting is his favorite sport.
Paul is a pre-sem student, majoring in philosophy and minoring in
history. He attended the U of M for his first two years. Last summer
the Campus Crusade camp at Mound claimed most of his time where
he helped build an $80,000 chapel. Presently he heads a male prayer
meeting which is held at seven each Friday morning in the library.
Paul was a major faCtor in the Royals championship.
As only Coach Lundin could say, "Paul is definitely a fine ball
player—there's no question about it."
Lundquist, Senate Host Champs
Following last night's basketball game President Lundquist and
his wife held a reception for the football team at their home. Both the
team and athletic department were grateful and felt their tribute was
a great way to tap off the championship.
Six frantic charged cheerleaders dressed in blue crystallized a wel-come
that was instigated by the Senate. This all means that a good
time was had by all at the G. Healy emceed informal football welcome
home championship. Old Edgren dorm basement was the site of a happy
lot of lads and women as the ball team was put on parade and given
the hip hip hurrah that they so well deserve. Co-ath. direc. Healy kept
the crowd at bay with his subtle humor and quiet voice. Through the
evening we heard such public speakers as Stu Luckman, Paul Evan,
and oh yes, some fellow named Lundin. He told of some past exper-iences—
one was about hitch-hiking a ride for the team in an empty
cattle truck. That was a fine ride—fine ride.

"Communication is the most
acute problem in the world today,"
said Dr. Eugene Nida, keynote
speaker at Missions Week.
Linguist from the American
Bible society, Dr. Nida considers
himself a "trouble shooter for
problems of translation." He has
traveled in over 60 countries and
written seven books on the prob-lems
of communication.
Diagraming communication as
consisting of the source, the mes-sage,
and the receptor, Dr. Nida
emphasized that if we are to under-stand
any message we must under-stand
the source, message, and
receptor in the cultural context.
"The message is not different
in relation to the culture of which
it is a part," Dr. Nida explained.
That is, the ends do not differ,
but the equivalent forms in which
the message is expressed differ.
This is because "other societies
are integrated and organized on
very different concepts. Language
is a reflection of the culture."
.Sometimes the Scriptures are
closer to other cultures than to
ours because "the eastern Medi-terranean
culture is the pivotal
point of cultural history," Dr. Nida
said.
Dr. Lawrence M. Gould,
president of Carleton college
Volume XXXV—No. 6 Bethel
"There is no such thing as ac-curate
translation in the absolute
sense of the word," Dr. Nida ex-plained,
because no word has an
exact parallel in another language.
"Absolute communication is
never possible but adequate com-munication
is always possible be-cause
of basic phychological char-acteristics
of man."
"Translation is not trying to
match words but to find the
closest natural equivalent within
the context of the culture," Dr.

"It is absolutely obligatory that
we communicate the message in
indigenous forms . . . in an indigen-ous
setting . . . through indigen-ous
channels of communication .. .
in terms of indigenous patterns of
life."
"Identification is not imitation,"

lives of the people, Dr. Nida said
regarding the method by which

Bethel was represented at the
regional National Student Associa-tion
(N.S.A.) meeting at Carleton
college in Northfield, Minn., Nov.
14 and 15 by Dick Benert, Lois
Bradshaw, Marge Brother, and
Dwight Jessup.
N.S.A. has a two-fold purpose.
Through the regional conference
Bethel students have a voice in the
U.S.N.S.A., the voice of over a mil-lion
college students in world af-fairs.
In turn U.S.N.S.A. informs
us of actions they take.
Dr. Lawrence M. Gould, presi-dent
of Carleton, gave the keynote
address. In speaking of the educa-tional
crisis he said, "The need is
not for more but for better scien-tists
because we will never have as
many as the Russians."

Students Voice Opinions
Through National N.S.A.
Unethical Behavior
Threat To Freedom
Ethical considerations, while perhaps forming the dominant
aspects of contemporary religious practice, appear to have been
neglected in not a few situations here at Bethel recently.
Certain individuals seem to be reacting against the college
experience, not in an intellectual way, but in a physical way.
While this has a value of its own, to be sure—as in the easing
of tensions and frustrations, it is only relative.
And when the destruction wrought is greater than the personal
benefit derived from such reaction, then the wantoness of some
becomes a great threat to the position of all.
Students ought not to mistakenly assume that freedom is an
adequate law of conduct.
Freedom must be coupled with moral responsibility or it is
worthless.
Collective effort, mutual understanding, corporate enterprise,
in general the functions of a democratic society are impossible
when individuals are all governed only by a concept of complete
liberty.
Another violation of the principle of free responsible society
seems about to jeopardize the traditional liberty students have
been granted in the library.
It would appear that some have shown complete disregard
for the normal and necessary procedure of checking out books
which are to be taken from the library. This is especially true of
certain books on open reserve : few remain in the library now.
The open reserve concept is a good one. Students and books
can intermingle more freely under such a system.
But standard procedure must be adhered to or the library
will of necessity be forced into a stricter, more authoritarian posi-tion.
This would be unfortunate.
Bethel students have enjoyed greater freedom and have suf-fered
under fewer rules than probably any similar liberal arts
college in the area.
This freedom has been won only through responsible student
effort extended over many years. By demonstrating to the admini-stration
that students could make the necessary moral judgments
involved, a gradual extension of privileges was granted.
But now the unreasoned unethical behavior of a few, childish
actions in the first place, poses as a threat to traditional freedom:
a heritage from previous classes which is a far greater good than
any irresponsible demonstration of frustration that the college
has recently been given.

Wednesday, November 26, 1958
The court clerk came in followed by the black-robed,
White-haired federal Judge Nordbye who
stepped up behind the bench and sat down. The
clerk then announced "court is in session" and
rapped the gavel on his desk to complete his piece.
The case of the United States v. McDuffie" was
being tried. (When we came in the afternoon session
was beginning although the trial itself had been
under way for at least one other day.)
The Negro defendant McDuffle was about thirty
years of age and was accused of selling marijuana.
Mr. Valentine, a witness for the prosecution,
took the stand after oath. He was a federal agent
who had been assigned to watch the activities of
the defendant. In the course of the prosecutor's
examination of the witness we learned about a
"Special Employee" Elliott who had been hired to
purchase some "stuff" from McDuffie.
We, in the spectators seats, faced the bench
and also the witness on the other side of the room.
Between these two positions sat the prosecuting
attorney at one table and the defense and defen-dant
at another. To our right across from these
center tables sat the jury of nine men and three
women. The recorder sat at the short-hand machine.
On Jan. 22, 1958, Valentine, Elliott, and another
agent had gone out to Olson highway and Highway
10 to a telephone booth there, and Elliott had placed
a call to McDuffie. It was about 6 p.m. The attorney
then asked:
"Where did you go then?"
"We went to Seventh and Lyndale; to a res-taurant
there; a barbecue."
"Do you remember the name of the restaur-ant?"
"Not right now."
"What did you do then?"
"We parked across the street in Dayton's park-ing
lot, to observe."
Elliott had then gotten out of the car and
had walked to the intersection, where the defendant
arrived walking with a police dog. However, no ex-change
other than words took place, and McDuffie
was gone.
The two detectives and Elliott then went into
the restaurant. They slid a table and some chairs
over by the men's room which was to the rear left
of the barbecue and the detectives then went inside
the men's room while Elliott remained in the estab-lishment
proper. The only lighting came from the
outside light and the light from the juke-box. (The
place, later identified as the Old Southern Barbecue,
at the time was owned by Elliott's father and was be-ing
remodeled. Elliott worked there as a cook.)
Valentine's testimony continued ...
"We bored two quarter-inch holes through the
door to observe. At eight o'clock McDuffie knocked
on the barbecue door and Special-Employee let
him in."
Intrigue is ever with us.
"Did you observe any transaction between .
them?"
"I observed the defendant hand over a small
piece of paper."
After McDuffie had gone (with dog once more)
Elliott went back to the federal agents and gave
them the piece of paper. It was a pink napkin
containing marijuana.
The prosecution soon concluded his interroga-tion,
and the counsel for the defense then questioned
the witness.
After Valentine, Elliott was questioned. Elliott
was Negro—about 26 years old. It was not difficult
to lead Elliott into awkward straits the defense
counsel found and this was done initially by question-ing
his moral character. A sustained objection how-ever
stopped this. Then in a flustered moment the
question was asked—"And that was when he handed
you the yellow napkin?"
"Yes." (It had already been ascertained that
the napkin was pink.)
The court soon adjourned. Court can be fascin-ating.

and Marquette. On the fourth floor are the court
rooms. Afternoon sessions are from two to five.

'Cheerful Men
Should Perform
Dear Editor,
Once below a time there was a
little boy who took piano lessons.
Because he was like most little
boys he was creativehe learned
to play the piano with his feet.
This added some "happiness" to
his playing.
His teacher admitted it was
novel, but certainly not orthodox.
"To please the public, you must
play porperly," was his firm ad-monition.
He learned to play properly.
However, he was much happier
when he secretly added his "foot-notes."
The big day of his recital ar-rived.
His wealthy parents hired
an orchestra to accompany him.
Everything proceeded "properly,"
and his teacher smiled approvingly
from the front row. The rest of
the audience dozed off. The little
boy thought to himself, "They're
not enjoying this anymore than I
am." A "horrible" idea (surely
from the devil) came into his
mind. "Do I dare? It would be
improper—my teacher wouldn't ap-prove—
but the audience . . . Oh,
scratch my Bach, I'LL DO IT!"
A wild gleam shown in his eyes.
Off came his shoes. Off came his
sacks. He became a "happy boy"
again.
As the music poured forth, the
audience stirred, awoke, became
enthused, and went wild with ap-plause;
the orchestra outdid them-selves,
and the final curtain trem-bled
with cries of "bravo! encore!"
When the curtain went up, the
boy was gone, and a certain front
row seat was empty.
You know what happened. From
then on he played properly. But
he was mediocre. Worse, he was
unhappy. So are we, the audience.
It doesn't seem right for talent
to be wasted! There are so many
boys who could be "happy boys."

Egan Gets Word
Mr. Egan:
No, we are not agreed that
something is wrong when students,
are charged large fines for overdue
books.
If you use the library you must
comply with its regulations. The
library staff presupposes that you
will return material you borrow
within the allotted time. The li-brary
is mother to no man.
After college, we will be sub-jetted
to circumstances in which
judgment will be necessary: Selec-tive
Service, voting registration,
marriage licenses, interrm'ent plots.
If we meet these adequately, we
will lead the happy and good life.
The problem is not library pro-cedures,
but self-discipline.

Dear Mr. Egan,
Yes, I can imagine being charg-ed
several dollars for keeping a
book out of the library. This is
not unlike the instance in which
I kept a regular, run-of-the-mill,
commonplace, two week loan book
out for 68 weeks, for which I re-ceived
a fine of $8.17.

The American deer hunter is
found in almost every state in the
union. The northeastern and Great
Lakes areas are probably the most
fruitful for whitetail hunting, al-though
a man can tramp through
the woods, fill his lungs with fresh
air, and feel like Daniel Boone any-place.
So we see that deer hunting is
expensive, unprofitable, silly, and
illogical, and that no sane man
would have anything to do with it.
There's more to say, but the
boys have just loaded my kitchen
sink into the trailer; we're on our
way to get some venison.
Every year from October to
December, hundreds of thousands
of American men leave the warmth
and safety of their homes and trek
up wooded hills and down frosted
dales in search of the wily white-tail
deer. These otherwise sane
men go out in small groups and
share whatever meat is shot. Thus
Mr. Average Hunter returns to his
nest, proudly shows his mate ten
dollars worth of moldy, bark-en-crusted
venison, and says in his
1-told-you-so tone of voice, "Ya
thought I couldn't do it, huh. Disda
wayta balance da budget." Our
friend's bride looks at him in
amazement and starts to say some-thing,
but his cave man attitude
dissuades her from mentioning the
three hundred dollars he has spent
for guns, ammunition, gasoline,
binoculars, and Johnny Walker—
all necessities for the trip.
There are three main methods
used in deer hunting. The first is
called still hunting because you
slowly and carefully walk around
in likely areas, the purpose being
to sneak up on a deer before he
knows you're there. The average
deer hunter walks so quietly he can
be heard on Times Square on New
Year's Eve. The second method
is called standing, because you sit
down near watering places, deer
paths, or salt licks to await a
victim. The third possible way is
also aptly named. Several hunters
run around the woods, purposely
making a commotion in the hope
(usually vain) of frightening some
senile member of the whitetail
family into running in front of the
strategically placed guns of their
companions. This is called driving.
Americanus Nimrod is known for
his tendency to travel "heavy." He
likes to take everything but the
kitchen sink. (He takes that too
if he has a trailer.) An average
hunting party carries such a wide
variety of paraphernalia that it
takes the better part of a day to
load and unload it. A partial list
would include guns and ammuni-tion,
targets, binoculars, boots,
cartridge belts, shooting mittens,
hand warmers, extra sights, hunt-ing
knives, matches, ear flaps, gas
cans, clotheslines, canteens, com-passes,
maps, sunglasses, and cold
pills.

Book Review .. .
Does College Change Values?
. . . Dr. P. E. Jacob Missing Reserve Books--
Bethel Campus Mystery Changing Values In College by
Dr. Philip E. Jacob is a penetrat-ing
analysis of the influence col-lege
exerts on student values.
It is not a very optimistic re-port,
particularly for those who
view the college experience as be-ing
significant in the area of
values. Nor does it give one much
assurance about the positive in-fluence
of curriculum, teachers, or
teaching methods in bringing
about any change in the current
situation.
The study is far from conclu-sive;
there are significant areas
which have received limited treat-ment.
Yet it is a valuable work
certainly worthy of the time of all
who are involved with college: stu-dent,
faculty member, administra-tor,
and alumnus.
The question of what happens
to the values of American students
when they go to college is the
basic concern of the book.
The over-all conclusion of this
study is that college does make a
difference but not a very funda-mental
one for most students.
Basic values remain largely con-stant
through college.
The main effect of higher edu-cation
upon student values is to
bring about general acceptance of
a body of standards and attitudes
of college-bred men and women in
the American community.
The changes which do occur
bring greater uniformity. College
graduates tend to be cultural "rub-ber
stamps" for the existing social
pattern rather than instigators of
new patterns of thought.
The study did not discern any
significant change in student values
which could be attributed either
directly to the character of the
curriculum or to the basic courses
in social sciences which students
take as part of their general edu-cation.
For the most part, the values

All students on the coffee shop
allotment have been given a five
cent raise, the Student Senate an-nounced
recently.
Many students on Bethel's regu-lar
meal plan are taking classes
that conflict with the meal schedule
of the dining hall. To remedy the
situation, Bethel administration
ferent from the national pattern.
In a summary of these general
conclusions Jacob spells out some
particular characteristics which
seem to have a considerable mea-sure
of applicability to all insti-tutions.
Student values do change to
some extent he says; even a sub-stantial
change may occur. But
the impetus to change does not
come primarily from the formal
process of education.
"Potency to affect student values
is found in the distinctive climate
of a few institutions, the individual
and personal magnetism of a sen-sitive
teacher with strong value-commitments
of his own, or value-laden
personal experiences of stu-dents
imaginatively integrated
with their intellectual develop-ment."

We've done it, girls! We've re-vealed

set up a cash allotment of 45
cents for each of these students to
spend on or toward their meal
in the coffee shop.
Because of the great increase
in fifth hour classes, the price
raise of certain items in the coffee
shop, and complaints that 45 cents
could not buy a satisfactory meal,
the Student Senate asked for a
raise.

"The Case of the Missing Library
Volumes" may sound fascinating
to the avid mystery fan, but to
the Bethel student body this case
presents a real problem. The open
reserve system which the library
employs has been given a broader
interpretation by a few students
than was originally intended. Re-sult:
missing reserve books!
No detectives were needed to
determine that many a book has
left the library, with no card left
at the check-out desk to desig-nate
its whereabouts. Rather re-gretfully,
students who desired to
fulfill extra reading requirements
discovered the crime around mid-semester
time, when the need was
most prevalent. To find that the
up. Try a wide belt of a dressy
fabric with a bow in front. This
could be the refreshing touch you
need.
The ideal date this year will be
driving a '59 Dodge. This is the
car that has the ladies in mind.
Its swiveling front seat seeks to
solve the straight skirt, low car
roof problem and makes for a more
graceful exit.
All women are interested in
growing old sans wrinkles. I
stumbled upon this fool proof
method and feel compelled to pass
it on to you. Here. it is. Don't
smile. Don't frown. (Uses too many
muscles.) Follow a nutritionally
perfect diet, and most of all keep
your face free from wind, soot,
and bacteria. (Could I suggest
living under a glass bell?)
It looks like our skating wea-ther
isn't far off! Time to get
your skates out and polish them.
If you don't have plenty of warm
clothes that's your cue to drop a
hint to your roommate. For the
roommate who has everything, may
I suggest a subscription to Gla-mour.
Don Decker, college junior, won
first place and $25 in Bethel's ora-tory
contest held Monday, Nov. 17,
by supporting the idea that nu-clear
weapons can prevent war.
He showed that the reason the
United States was involved in war
with Germany and Japan was be-cause
of military unpreparedness.
Present comparative strength of
the U.S. was shown by number of
nuclear weapons and planes avail-able
on short notice.
Probability of annihilation of the
extra few copies of the desired
book have been borrowed with no
promise of return presented dis-gust
as well as disappointment on
the part of the searching student.
Courses particularly affected by
the missing books are: General
Psychology, Problems of Philoso-phy,
and General Zoology.
Imposing a closely - scrutinized
check-out system in the Bethel
library seems rather unnecessary,
but the students have not proven
themselves. capable of the present
freedoms. Suggestions from the
Student Senate upon investigation
by the library representative,
Marilyn Thorpe, include:
moving open reserve shelf nearer
the check-out desk,
assigning a checker at the door,
and
designating a separate room for
the open reserve books.
Such steps need not be taken if
the student body realizes the ele-mentary
honesty principle that
must function in any library. To
retain a book when others are
waiting to use it is certainly un-fair
to all.

and outlooks of students do not
vary greatly whether they have
pursued a conventional liberal arts
program, an integrated general
education curriculum, or one of the
strictly professional-vocational op-tions.
Equally disturbing is evidence
that the quality of teaching has
relatively little effect upon the
value-outcomes of general educa-tion—
in the social sciences or in
the other fields—so far as the
great mass of students is concern-ed.
It has been observed, however,
that some teachers do exert a pro-found
influence on some students
even to the point of causing par-ticular
individuals to re-orient
their philosophy of life and adopt
new and usually more socially re-sponsible
vocational goals.
A further significant observa-tion
(particularly for Bethel) is
that faculty influence appears
more pronounced at institutions
where association between faculty
and students is normal and fre-quent,
and students find teachers
more receptive to unhurried and
relaxed conversations out of class.
The method of instruction seems
to have only a minor influence on
students' value judgments.
However students are often
deeply affected by participation in
experiences which vividly confront
them with value issues and pos-sibly
demand decisions on their
part whose consequences they can
witness. -
While patterns of student values
have great similarity on a mass
view, the intellectual, cultural, or
moral "climate" of some institu-tions
stands out from the crowd.
The response of students to edu-cation
within the atmosphere of
these institutions is strikingly dif-

Only One Point Edge:
Bethel Shaves Braves
Bethel began this year's basket-ball
season by squeezing past Sioux
Falls, 56-55, last Friday night on
the home court.
As the game got under way it
was evident it would be a close
contest, with the lead changing
hands many times. The end of the
first half found the Braves con-trolling
a four point lead and they
came back in the second half to
advance that lead to eleven points
before Dick Larson sparked the
Royal Five by scoring nine staright
points.
With one minute and 49 seconds
remaining in the game the score
was tied at 54-54. Bethel controlled
the ball and Larson hit, putting
the Royals ahead 56-54. Lindaman
fouled Roger Shogren as the
Braves were trying to stall and
Shogren made one of two free
throws making the score 56-55.
The game seemed to be on ice
here with only ten seconds left to
play and Bethel having possession
of the ball when a quick-footed
Brave stole the ball and went for
a basket, but the whistle had
blown, and Bethel had won 56-55.
Coach Healy said, "I feel that
we have some scoring potential
and we have learned some things
about our shabby defense which
will be corrected. We only hit 34
per cent of our shots which is bad,

Bethel's basketball team plays
their next three games with River
Falls State (Wis.), General
Beadle (S. D.), and Eau Claire
State (Wis.) respectively. The
first of these is an away game
while the other two are to be
played at home.
All three games are non-Badger-
Gopher conference games.
Bethel won one (56-52) and lost
one (39-78) to River Falls last
year. The lap-sided contest can be
accounted for by the fact that
numerous Bethel starting players
were side-lined by injuries and in-eligibility.

Twenty years old-190 pounds-5 feet 11 inches—junior transfer
student from University of Minnesota, are just a few vital statistics
of - Paul Evan, but then, just how many vital statistics can a guy have,
anyway. Paul has already claimed the B.G.C. scoring title, typifying
his athletic ability. Attesting to his inspiring personality and character
his teammates have voted him the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award
and have chosen him to lead next year's team as
captain.
In a recent C.S. conversation Paul stated that
he really liked the spirit of the guys, both teamwise
and spiritually. He also said, "It was great to be
a part of a team that evidenced no friction among
players—they never gave up and played hard all
the time; we improved with each game. Our best
ball game was the last—I'm certain that we would
continue to get better if we had more ball games.
Paul Evan
Ground work for this personable athlete was Scoring Title
laid at Coleman hig h school, Wisconsin. There he M V P
1959 Captain
earned varsity letters—four in both football and track and three in
basketball. As a senior, he earned all-conference in football and basket-ball,
the conference's MVP in football. Paul is credited with several 25
point games in basketball. As for track, he went to State for three
years, in the hurdles as a sophomore and in the discus as a junior and
senior. Strange as it may seem pole vaulting is his favorite sport.
Paul is a pre-sem student, majoring in philosophy and minoring in
history. He attended the U of M for his first two years. Last summer
the Campus Crusade camp at Mound claimed most of his time where
he helped build an $80,000 chapel. Presently he heads a male prayer
meeting which is held at seven each Friday morning in the library.
Paul was a major faCtor in the Royals championship.
As only Coach Lundin could say, "Paul is definitely a fine ball
player—there's no question about it."
Lundquist, Senate Host Champs
Following last night's basketball game President Lundquist and
his wife held a reception for the football team at their home. Both the
team and athletic department were grateful and felt their tribute was
a great way to tap off the championship.
Six frantic charged cheerleaders dressed in blue crystallized a wel-come
that was instigated by the Senate. This all means that a good
time was had by all at the G. Healy emceed informal football welcome
home championship. Old Edgren dorm basement was the site of a happy
lot of lads and women as the ball team was put on parade and given
the hip hip hurrah that they so well deserve. Co-ath. direc. Healy kept
the crowd at bay with his subtle humor and quiet voice. Through the
evening we heard such public speakers as Stu Luckman, Paul Evan,
and oh yes, some fellow named Lundin. He told of some past exper-iences—
one was about hitch-hiking a ride for the team in an empty
cattle truck. That was a fine ride—fine ride.
